Now I see your issue. 🙂 I have the sending company send me two files. A large .Zip file and a small .DONE file. I do not and can not start processing the .Zip file untill it is fully uploaded. For this reason the sending company sends me a .DONE file to signal the first file copy is complete. I have FILE1.DONE and FILE1.ZIP. I really only needed to know the ZIP arrived so I extract the base filename from the .DONE file by subtracting the 5 characters. I must not have mentioned the two file system I have. Sorry. Does that help?
